I just had to move all my disk drives and PCI cards, including the Digium TDM400P, into a new box when the motherboard died. Now that the new box is up and running, my FXS ports no longer work although the FXO port does. I am hoping someone can help me diagnose and debug. I am running Fedora 8, asterisk asterisk-1.4.21, and zaptel-1.4.9 . Yes, I realize that this is old software and that zaptel has been replaced with dahdi, but it's not THAT old; I only installed it two years ago and it has run flawlessly ever since. To upgrade the OS, asterisk, my configurations, and switching from zaptel to dahdi would be a huge job that I would like to avoid if I possibly can. The installation was stable and configured just the way we want it, I really don't want to start over from scratch until I've at least had a try at debugging this problem. Of course, if it turns out to be a hardware problem then all the time spent upgrading would be wasted, so I have to at least determine that much first.
Here is the zapata.conf: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [trunkgroups] ; none here [channels] usecallerid=yes hidecallerid=no callwaiting=no threewaycalling=yes transfer=yes echocancel=yes echotraining=yes immediate=no ; house phones context=internal signalling=fxo_ks channel => 3 channel => 2 ; infohigh fax modem context=internal signalling=fxo_ks echocancel=no echocancelwhenbridged=no echotraining=no threewaycalling=no channel => 1 ; Qworst line context=incoming echocancel=yes echocancelwhenbridged=yes echotraining=yes rxgain=10.0 txgain=1.2 signalling=fxs_ks faxdetect=incoming channel => 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The error when asterisk starts (in /var/log/asterisk/messages) is: [Aug 8 13:00:11] ERROR[4197] chan_zap.c: Unable to open channel 3: No such device or address here = 0, tmp->channel = 3, channel = 3 [Aug 8 13:00:11] ERROR[4197] chan_zap.c: Unable to register channel '3' If I comment out the "channel => 3" line, then the error occurs on channel 2, and if I comment out both channels 2 and 3, then the error occurs on channel 1. If I comment out all the channels except 4, the error message goes away. In all cases, only the FXO port on channel 4 actually works. I did check to make sure the card is plugged in to the power supply. ztscan appears to show all the ports: # ztscan [1] active=yes alarms=OK description=Wildcard TDM400P REV I Board 1 name=WCTDM/0 manufacturer=Digium devicetype=Wildcard TDM400P REV I location=PCI Bus 06 Slot 07 basechan=1 totchans=4 irq=16 type=analog port=1,FXS port=2,FXS port=3,FXS port=4,FXO lsmod shows this: wctdm24xxp 113024 0 wctdm 36812 0 zaptel 186916 6 wctdm24xxp,wctdm crc_ccitt 6081 1 zaptel What can I do to determine if I'm looking at a hardware or software problem? Is it a known kind of hardware failure that could affect all three FXS ports but not the FXO port? Thanks in advance for any help, --Greg _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
